WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas nursing home where a nurse allegedly diluted morphine says no patients received the tampered drugs.
Halstead Health and Rehabilitation Center administrator Chet West said Thursday the diluted medicines were either back-up drugs or discontinued drugs that were awaiting disposal. He said the facility discovered the tampering and reported it to authorities.
Nurse Deborah J. Riggs was charged Wednesday in a 10-count indictment with tampering with a consumer product and adulteration of drugs.
The 55-year-old Goddard nurse did not have an attorney listed in court records. Her phone was disconnected.
